CALIFORNIA, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 31
RELATIVE TO THE MORATORIUM ON RENT
INCREASES FOR DWELLING UNITS WITHIN
APARTMENT BUILDINGS CONTAINING FIVE OR
MORE UNITS, AND DECLARING THE URGENCY
THEREOF.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, DOES
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The maximum rent permitted by Section 2 of Ordinance
No. 31 may be exceeded if the rent is consistent with Farmers Home
Administration, Housing and Urban Development or other federal,
state or county rent assistance or subsidy program and the apartment
in which the dwelling unit is located was enrolled in the assistance
or subsidy program on September 19, 1984.
SECTION 2. This ordinance affects the public peace, health and
safety and shall take effect immediately. The facts constituting
the urgency are as follows:
There exists in the City of Moorpark and the surrounding area a
shortage of dwelling units in apartments which has resulted in a low
vacancy rate and rapidly rising rents. Due to the foregoing, the
City is reviewing and considering a proposed ordinance which would
regulate the rents charged for dwelling units in apartments and has
adopted a temporary moratorium on rent increases. Under the existing
moratorium certain dwelling units cannot be re- rented when they
become vacant, because the units are subject to federal rent regula-
tions that are not consistent with the rents permitted by the mora-
torium. This ordinance will allow such dwelling units to be re- rented
immediately, so that the shortage of dwelling units will not be
increased.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 7th day of November, 1984, by
not less than a four - fifths vote of the City Council.
